Canada's Public Works.
The Forum.

1t is charged against the Canadian
Government that since the union of the
provinces its policy has been one of bri-
berry through the medium of public
works; that it has as a consequence, large
ly increased the public expenditure and
the public debt, and thus imposed upon
the people heavy burdens for practical Y
unrenumerative investments. The con-
struction of the Inter colonial and Pacific
Railways and the enlargement of the Wei
land and st. Lawrence canals are given
as Illustrations OF this policy. They are
referred to, snseringly, as those invest
ments in patriotism which are such an
important part of the terms of confede-
ration" The.psople of Canada have no
objection to their public works being
described as Investments in patriotism;
they have been undertaken for the jevel-
opment of the country; they have result
ed in nits development, and have thus been
the outcome of the best form of patriot
ism. Without them a united Canada
would have been an impossible achieve
nent. They are not, or rather they were
not,in their inception questions of party
controversy, both the great political par
ties being responsible for them. The
Inter -chlenial railway was regarded as q
work of Importance before confedera-
tion was seriously talked of as an event
of the very near future. The public men
of the old provinces of Canads, New
Brunswick and Nova Scotra, some years
before confederation, and acting under
imperial guidence, had arranged terms
for the construction of this railway as an
imperative condition of their e1istance
SIS independent communities owing alls-

AnnihiIating s1O,OOO,Ooo a Month
Boston Commercial Bulletir


About S7o,ooo,Ooo worth of property
have been annihilated in the United
States thus far in this peaceful year of
our Lord 18S7-not by anarchists nor
rioutous strikers, but by fires alone. This
country is so much the poorer, and it is
very pretty sum. The prospects are that
the remaining will swell the total draft
upon the accumulations of the good seo-
pie of this country to the extent of at
least s10e,0Oo,0O0.
This problem in our social economy is
becoming more and more serious. Fire
underwriters, who are made to realize
very forcibly that this loss comes out of
some one, have endeavored in recent
years to get the president TO call atten-
tion to this terrible waste of labor and
resource in his annual message, bat the
recommendation has not been considered
of sufficient Importance. Perhaps the
president is waiting until the annual bill
of carelessness and criminality shall
foot Up $150.000,00o.

WOmcn's Work in STria.

There are grand women in Aral "a;
women of ability, keen insight and
wonderful capabilities. The duties of
the wife of Syrian to-day.are rs follows:
She brings all the water for family use
from distant well. This is accomplish
ed by filling immense jars and bringing
them upon her head. She rises early and
goes to the hend-mill of the village,
carrying corn, enough of which for the
days bread she grinds by slow, labori-
GUS progress. This she carries home and
cooks in an oven, which is made in the
earth. 1t is a round hole, lined with oval
and fiat stones, and heated by fire built
in it. When the bread IL mixed with
water and n little salt, she removes the
ashes and plasters little pats of dough
against the hot stones to cook. Could
anything be more cruder
Tho cares for her children-usually
large family-Rnd does all the rough
work at intervals, while the devoted (O
husband calmly smokes his "argSlie," or
sits cross-legged upon his divan or house
top in conversation with some equally
hardworking member of Syrian society.
The houses are made OF a coarse stone,
roughly hewn. The housetops are of
clay, covered with coarse gravel. In hot
weather the sun bakes this mud formed
roof, and large cracks appear. The rain
comes, and, as natural conseq uence, the
roof leaks.
This is something of which the fastis
ious inhabitant of the bible land does
not approve. II does not add to his
! bodily comfort. He remedies the diff
culty-shall tell you howt Not by any
effort of his own; far from it; his wife
comes, ascends to the housetop and in
the drenching rain propels roller of
solid stone backward, much as we use
lawn-mower. This rolls the sun dried
cracks together, and prevents the en-
trance of water.
These are only few OF the Syrian
house wife's duties. Her reward is not
in this world surely. She can not speak
to her husband in public; she can re-
ceive no caress before his friends. She
goes yelled and scantily clad. Sne has
no time to make her own habilIments,
for her hands must weave and spin and
embroider artistically and abundantly
| for the husband and the male children.
| In winter her feet are protected only by
| open wooden sandels, and drops of blood
| mark her way to tho Syrian well. This
| is no extraordinary thing, but by those
| who have repeatedly seen il, | have been
| inform ed. OF course this is among the
| lower and middle classes of scociety in
| Syria, but those who belong TO higher
class are very, very few.
